Structure of US states, territories, and/or Canadian Provinces
Problem
Needing to populate form pull-downs for state quickly and dynamically.
Solution
This cfc builds a structure of states/CA provinces that you can call and then loop. Saves on code reuse and 50+ lines of code.
Detailed explanation
<CFCOMPONENT DISPLAYNAME="LocCodes" HINT="Retuns a structure

<!--- Usage Hints:
Loop Abbrs:
<CFLOOP INDEX="i"
LIST="#arraytolist(structsort(stState, "text", "asc",

Loop States:
<CFLOOP INDEX="i"
